the new school bag made from her big brothers old shirt....and some ribbon. couldn't be easier, I just traced a shopping tote with soap (great for marking darks) cut out the front and back of the shirt, sewed them along the sides and bottom, took a strip from the bottom of the shirt and sewed it around the top on the inside to reinforce (folding it over would have cut off the design).
used screaming bright pink rock n roll gross grain ribbon around the top and for handles....added buttons for decoration and to give a bit more staying power to the handles.

More Winter Roses
Today's plan for school vacation week was to go hiking in one of the state management areas. It's still hunting season so we had to wear orange, no reason a girl can't be stylish in screaming bright orange. Honestly, I'm a little addicted to making these roses and any excuse will do. I made Nellie and I matching kerchiefs, the boys, plain scarves. We had a beautiful day, the weather couldn't have been more perfect, low 40's with nice bright sun and the sound of melting snow everywhere. It was nice to spend the day outside without needing coats and gloves and all the usual winter layers.
